The Federal Wage System (FWS) is a pay scale system that applies to blue-collar Federal government workers. The Office of Personnel Management, with the help of local labor unions, establishes hourly FWS pay tables for every major Government facility in the United States.
Who is WG Pay Scale for? The system is aimed at paying federal employees according to the current local rates. The regular payroll plan covers most laboring, craft, and trade employees in the executive branch. The FWS, however, doesn’t cover legislative branch employees, Postal Service employees, or private sector contracting firms’ employees.
